Good to be Home

I just got back from a great trip to Italy. I was gone for two weeks. I will probably write some about the trip and how it went here over the next few days. But today I am just so happy to be home. It seems weird to me now to call here home in a way cause all of my family lives in PA. But over the past two years God has made Cumming, GA home for me.

I am so thankful to God that he has allowed me to come here to Vision to train to be a missionary on Pastor Gardner. I feel that this is where I belong right now more than anywhere in the world. I missed the church services every Sunday and Thursday. I love having so many friends around me here that just love God and want to serve him with their lives.

I don't know how to express how it all feels right now. But it is great to be home and around all people and church family that I love.

I thank God for all that he has given me and allowed me to be a part of.
I would like to end this post with thanking God for Pastor Gardner and how he has affected me and caused me to want to serve God more.
For Kathryn who is the greatest girl I know and who is a great spiritual encouragement
For Scott who is one of my greatest and closest friends who has helped me to grow closer to God
For God's Word that works in my life and changes me from the inside
For Kyle who has been a great encouragement and roomate
For Alex who is a good friend
For a church that has a heart for God and for missions.
For a God who loves me unconditionally and gave His Son to die for me and desires to have a close relationship with a worm like me.

Italy helped me to see better who great of A God I have and how privileged I am to live where I do with all that I have. The great friends, mentors, and spiritual influences in my life.

Where we were there was nothing. All there is in Italy it seems are a bunch of Catholic churches. Everywhere I would turn I would see one. It was like I was back in Morocco except instead of Mosques they were Catholic churches. I want more than ever to train here so that I might bring the gospel to a country like this.
